John Winthrop and John Edwards had a large affect on Christian heritage as well as the heritage of Old England. Both Edwards and Winthrop's sermons are considered analogous. Their sermons both exhibit how Puritans followed their religion and their belief in a covenant with God. In "A Model of Christian Charity" Winthrop's goal as the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, was to lead them to be a model to Old England which was a colony based on Biblical principles. The underlying statement in Jonathan Edwards "Sinner's In the Hands of an Angry God" was it warns us against the dangers of allowing oneself to believe that all is well when we are in fact under attack. .

Their main point was giving all the glory to God. The Puritan's did whatever they could to keep it in God's name and always obey God. God has divine power and had to be obeyed. .
